RSSBook Review : Play Like A Man Win Like A Woman
August 22, 2008
-->The traditional, male way of doing business is not better than ours. Nor is it worse. It may be out-dated. It may not be productive or imaginative from a woman’s perspective. In fact, it may often be ethically and morally wrong. It is still undeniably real and it is a language that women need some functional understanding of to leverage the male corporate establishment.

August 14, 2008
So the house is expected to look a certain way and it’s up to you to get it that way? So many of us have designated ourselves as the sole cleaners of our homes.

The Universe Isn’t Out There
June 18, 2008
There’s an article in the Archives called Hey, Universe, Are You Ignoring Me? The question arose from my exasperation with having tried to think all the right thoughts, declaring my intentions to the Universe, and yet finding no opportunities arising from it, not even small ones.
It has been revealed to me that there is no Universe out there that is listening to my intentions. The only Universe that matters is inside my own head. It is my own subconscious that needs to hear my plans.
Sunscreen Search 2008
June 16, 2008
Each year, I take a look at what’s on offer in the sunscreen world. Our family goes through 12-15 tubes in a summer, so I’m price-conscious. What I put on my face ( see the articles Clinique : A Gorgeous Lipstick, A Fabulous Sunscreen and 2 Estee Lauder Product Reviews : A Best-In-Class Sunscreen and a So-So Foundation ) and what my kids cover themselves with at the beach or the pool is not the same product. To show you how seriously I take sun protection, take a look at my new sunglasses.

Not a week goes by that I don’t have to tell an owner that their pet has cancer. Dogs get it a lot, especially the bigger breeds. Seeing the devastation in the family and the deterioration in the animal as this sickness claims its life makes me very aware of the hideous misery of it.

On the cover of Vogue (Vogue!) this month is SJP, with the feature title “Let’s Talk About Sex”.
Anti-Aging 3 : Take Yourself Less Seriously
May 29, 2008
Your sense of humor about yourself can get awfully watered down sometimes. It’s important to always be light-hearted because otherwise your skin won’t look so good. The distraction could also result in poor color choices which we never want.
Don’t let down your guard about skin and colors. About everything else, are you even going to remember it in 2 weeks?
